GOVERNING BODY
Budgets & Audits & Financials
Oceanport operates under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The Borough form is often referred to as a “weak mayor-strong council” form. The mayor retains all general law authority, presides over council meetings and can vote in the case of a tie. The mayor appoints, with the advice and consent of council, all subordinate officers of the municipality. The council is the legislative body of the Borough. All executive responsibilities not placed in the office of the Mayor by general law or the Borough law remain with the council.
The Borough Council is comprised of six members, elected by the public in partisan elections for three-year terms of office on a staggered schedule, with two seats coming up for election each year. All members have equal power and may vote on all issues. The Mayor is elected by the public in partisan elections for a four-year term of office.

Mayor Tvrdik's Message
June / July / August 2024
Summer is here and Oceanport is bustling. My favorite part of this time of year is when I drive or walk around Oceanport and see our parks, waterways, and recreation facilities being utilized more than ever by Oceanport residents and people from all over the County. Speaking of parks, I want to give a big thank you to our Parks and Recreation team, led by Council President Bill Deerin, Kelle Burrough, Kim Parent, and Paula Lombardo for putting together a beautiful tribute to our service men and women at our annual Memorial Day Parade. Council President Deerin used his vast array of connections to ensure the bad weather held off until we finished our march down Monmouth Boulevard to the Port Au Peck Fire House. Oceanport’s very own Sean Burrough led the parade on the bag pipes. We were honored to have Staff Sergeant James Cavanaugh, who still serves in the National Guard as a Primary Training Officer with our Officer Candidate School in Sea Girt, as our Grand Marshal.
Last month, teams consisting of professionals, emergency responders, and borough employees from Oceanport and Eatontown met with representatives from Netflix to discuss matters associated with the continued development of the Netflix project. Read More....
